#giraffe morph

[why-animals-do-the-thing]

New weird horse just dropped, folks.

A spotless giraffe was recently born at Bright’s Zoo in Limestone, TN and was just announced in the media this morning. They’re starting a public naming contest for her, of course.

I’d love to know what type of mutation causes this lack of of pattern, but I don’t know if we have genetics on that for giraffes the way we do other species. As far as is known, she’s the first spotless giraffe ever documented!

[yallemagne]

I've realized that a trend in how I characterize Morph is that the character they're interacting with will suddenly say something very genuine and they'll PANIC and fumble for a joke to cut the tension. I just love the paradox of having a character be emotionally mature enough to play most interactions in their favour but also be a big dumb avoidant idiot who can't accept that other people love them.

I did another comic sequence!

satoru gojo, the man who could bend reality with a flick of his wrist, had a secret weakness: lazy sunday mornings. sure, saturdays were for blindingly bright parties, a necessary evil after a week of dealing with, let's be honest, lesser beings.

but sundays? ah, sundays were a sacred ritual, a holy day dedicated entirely to you.

imagine: a tangled mess of limbs under a duvet fortress, where soft kisses were the only currency and the air hummed with the quiet joy of simply being. satoru, the human equivalent of a sunbeam in pajama pants, would drape himself over you like a particularly clingy (but undeniably adorable) koala.

his whispers were a mix of sweet nothings and hilariously bad impressions of household appliances, his humming a chaotic symphony of half-remembered pop songs and made-up jingles.

"we should just hibernate here," he'd mumble into the crook of your neck, his breath warm and ticklish. "forever. or at least until tuesday."

you’d giggle, a sound that always made his heart do a little happy dance. "'toru, we can't. remember? the grocery store run? the existential dread of sorting laundry?

he'd whine, a sound that could rival a litter of disgruntled puppies auditioning for a sad commercial. it was ridiculously endearing, like a giant, fluffy cat demanding belly rubs. "the laundry can wait. it's probably just plotting to steal all our socks anyway."

"oh, is it now?" you'd tease, pinching his cheek. "'toru, there's always next week for this."

"next week is a myth invented by people who hate fun," he'd declare, his voice dramatic. he'd then attempt to burrow further into you, which, given his height, was like trying to fit a giraffe into a shoebox. "five more minutes. pleeease?"

you snorted. "your 'five' minutes always morph into ten, then twenty, then a full-blown nap that lasts until monday morning."

"then let's just skip the preamble and go straight to the monday morning nap," he'd suggest, peeking up at you with those ridiculously mesmerizing cerulean eyes. they were practically sparkling with mischief and pure, unadulterated adoration. how could anyone, especially you, say no to a face that screamed, "love me and let's nap?"

and so, the errands would wait, the socks would remain unconquered, and the world would just have to deal with the fact that satoru gojo, the strongest sorcerer alive, was currently busy being a professional clinger. after all, is that not what sunday morning are for?

i know the fandom likes to think that kaku started claiming to like giraffes because that's what he got so he's making the best of a bad situation but me n @bananawanis were talking about how funny it would be if he absolutely LOVES giraffes. his favorite animal was always the giraffe. kaku morphed giraffe and he was like YES! YES! FUCK YES! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! and then everyone started making fun of him. his life is pain.

i want to morph a giraffe just to know what it's like to have your neck streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch

Rainworld

Featuring Enot/Inv/Sofanthiel and my Oc Mouse/The Avulsion (bit of canon x Oc ship and I’m not ashamed. Enot needs his ego boost plus it fits with my headcannons with them both being eldritch beings Enot more veering to eldritch horror)

Lil info abt her

Mouse is basically a cryptid form of slugcat similar to long horse (legit where I got inspiration)

Despite how bloody tall she is, she’s quite friendly and passive. She can morph her body into an uncanny slugcat, skinny and overall longer, like her body is too big for her head…sort of. I don’t know how to describe it but I’ll get it drawn. She uses this form to hide in shelters during the rain

They are 50/50 hunters. Like giraffes or whatever, their kick is not something worth getting whatsoever and their legs are like spears so they can impale small creatures. Easier to reach berries being that tall as well

They can’t swim and are very snappable. A broken limb is death because it’s harder to balance the less limbs you have and because of how thin they are, they never heal properly or in the correct way.

Lizards are dangerous, red ones can easily finish them. Vultures is just hell so they stay to forests and out of sight. Can’t swim so they avoid water anyway. They’re cool with Scavs. Bugs aren’t too terrible.

I will draw them more, I need an Enot design anyway

[why-animals-do-the-thing]

Do you think that the zoo and/or associated breeding programs will keep the spotless giraffe as part of the giraffe breeding program? I could see them as being afraid the animal might have other associated health problems, but maybe it's a harmless mutation?

So I can't speak for the zoo, obviously, but I can tell you what I think the general thought process would be.

My guess is that's not a decision that they'd make for years yet, because she's quite a ways away from sexual maturity. Observing her while she grows up will help them determine if the mutation seems to effect her health. If it does, it would be reasonable not to let her reproduce.

If she seems to be healthy, there's a couple different ways to look at it. Color mutations on their own aren't a reason not to breed an animal, if they're healthy and their genetics are important to the population. It becomes an issue when you're over-breeding or in-breeding to increase a specific mutation in your population. That's not actually as common as you'd think these days, because it so immediately gets public backlash. The zoo is getting a ton of publicity over her birth, but it means there will be equally as much scrutiny of any potential breeding.

It's also worth keeping in mind that she may not stay at that zoo, as breeding facilities with smaller habitats often transfer their calves somewhere else when they're reaching maturity. (Although I think in this case, they're more likely to keep her at home, because she's such a good draw for the public). If she moved somewhere, it's possible her original zoo might not get to make the call about if she breeds there.

In short, basically, we need to wait and see. Personally? One spotless giraffe is a really neat occurrence. A whole herd of them wouldn't be nearly as interesting, after a while. Their spots are what make them so unique!

[sinkoedrawer]

I’m tired of dragons being the only creatures with different ethnicities. I wanna see more:

Werewolves from Australia to be dingoes; from Papa New Guinea to be thylacines; from Egypt to be jackals and from America to be coyotes. The country has no native canines? Canine morphs! Foxes, raccoons, weasels!

Vampires from Italy who have grown immune to garlic, islander vampires to grow a tolerance for sunlight. From places with heavy religious imagery? Higher tolerance to such things. From places with lots of running water, like the Amazon? Can cross flowing water. And don’t be afraid to base them off of other animals than bats! Get creative with it! Cats, birds, snakes, even foxes!

Centaurs from Africa who are instead zebras, giraffes, antelope. Elephants from India and elk from America. Moose from Canada. From a country with high tech advancements? Cyborgs! Human tops, robotic animal bottoms. (And for gods sake, give me more carnivorous centaurs!)

Harpies with different wing, feather and talon types based on birds from their area. Peacocks, ravens; finches, cockatoos! There are so many possibilities with harpies, yet I only ever find them based off of spotted owls or crows. (Angels, too.)

Mermaids and sirens from coral reefs to be more colourful, and from open ocean to be blues, greys and greens! Swamp sirens! Swamp mermaids mistaken for swamp sirens!

I liked this more than I expected to be honest. I really don't care for amnesia plotlines so all of that is pretty eh to me, but the rest was entertaining. this was a sneak peek into the other voice actors for me (had only heard Jake and Rachel at this point). I really like Ax's voice, but something about Marco doesn't work for me. several of the actors portray Tobias as either extremely dweeby or kinda stoned, which is really funny.

I love the description of the andalite eyestalks being like a giraffe's ossicones, it's a very k.a description

also it says Ax needs two hands to hold a mouse!!! I knew his hands/arms were weak, but that is so small!

the pool party plot is really funny to me. I love how they mention that Darleen's family are really rich and that the house is insured, as if children would be really worried about the financial stress of having an alien eat your house

Jake's PTSD response to screams at the party - it's so sad how effected that already are after like 4 real missions

random, but one of the previous books mentioned the Indianapolis 500, while this one is abbreviating to the Indy 500. as a kid I absolutely didn't know what that was regardless of the name haha

same with the ben and jerry's reference, that brand only got readily available here when I was in university

Tobias saying he's flying cover for the mission (sneaking into a pool party)

I really like Cassie and Marco slowly putting the pieces together as it's revealed to the reader via Ax

they are so lucky it was Ax who was captured. there's no way any of V3's underlings will bring up the human theory again!

I think the veleek is so cool! the concept of how this hive of tiny creatures perceives and functions together and apart is so interesting. too bad it's dead forever

the whole car sequence is So Close to my heart. I can't believe it all happens in the dark, and that they got away with it. Marco is right, a gorilla driving a car is cool!!!

Marco being willing to be captured by the veleek to let Rachel and Cassie get away reminded me of a recent meta post by @halogenwarrior

it's so funny to me that V3 loves tigers but thinks gorillas are cringe

I love Jake's garage saga. the fact that everyone else just got away with it is such a fun juxtaposition

Cassie's plan and incredible morphing feat is so fantastic. she's so great, her drive to prove that she's not a coward I quite relatable (even if it really isn't rational)

[a-roguish-gambit]

What would be Rogue, Gambit and Kurts reaction to watching Winsor McCay's Gertie the Dinosaur for the first time?

It gets Kurt obsessed with dinosaurs. For a long time having only seen them as bones and depicted as vicious beasts he was a bit scared but Gertie was so cute. He has his mother mail him a sewing pattern for a giraffe so he can make himself a version of Gertie with some help from morph. He makes a second for Wanda....she doesn't really get the significance cause she didn't see the film but she thought it was cute.

Rogue and Gambit have a lot of fun as well. They go to see it a few more times on their own as a date. Rogue sometimes compares gambits goofy behavior to Gertie after seeing it.

(Also plz leave comments it makes me happy)

1 2 3

___________________________________________

The Boy stormed out of Able's office after a long and boring lecture about "proper classroom etiquette" and "Treating others how you want to be treated" So stupid... He's definitely never going back to school again

Enock: Hi...

Enock was timidly waiting for The Boy outside

The Boy: What?

Enock: Umm... I- um.. I wanted to- umm...

The Boy: Ugh, Spit it out man!

Enock: Umm.... I thought you were really funny... and... I wanted to give you something...

Enock nervously, he gives him a folded piece of paper, The Boy rolled his eye and grabbed the paper from him

He unfolded the paper and saw a drawing in crayon of him with small angel wings and a halo, it was simple and scratchly drawn in green pen, the drawing itself looked a bit strange, the eye was drawn in a realistically oval shape contrasted to the boy's cartoony circled shaped one, He gazed at the image, examining every doodle surrounding the Strange depiction of the Boy, He could feel his Eye start to water

He started tearing up

Enock: I-I did I do something wrong?? Is it the Artstyle??

The Boy: No... its fine... thanks dude...

Enock: do... do you... wanna play?

The Boy: Uh... sure!

Later, Enock took the boy to a long hall in the circus, unlike the Brightly colored circus, it was cute and pastel, calming yet fun, Doors where placed along side of the pastel walls each having the face and name of the pals on them, on the end of the hallway, right was a Orange colored door in a wacky shape, Enock's picture and Name on it as well as stickers and glitter plastered all over it

Enock: dishes myoom!! I decorated it with pretty stuff! Cool right? Qwerty said it was childish but my mom and dad really likes it!!

The Boy: Wah- Huh- um cool

Enock opened the door and led The Boy inside

It was a spacious room with striped walls and decorated with Drawings, photos and random decor, plushies and toys were everywhere, a small doghouse was sitting against a wall with balloon dog (giraffe?) Was sleeping peacefully, in the corner was a small twin sized bed ridden with plushies and colorful pillows, opposite to the door he entered was a out of place fancy looking door with stickers spread across it to make it blend in more, it was probably just a closet or something

The Boy was utterly entranced by the room like it was a world forged from his wildest dreams

The Boy: sick room dude!!

Enock: really? Forgor to clean it today

Enock: Hey! You wanna see something cool?? I always wanted to show it to someone

The Boy: Okay, hit it

He sit down on the floor

Enock: Okay, here it goes...

Immediately, Enock's body started to morph, he rapidly grew five new pairs of arms and legs, his torso split and his head went into the new cavity, he started levitating in the air

Enock: Guess wha I am!!

The Boy was equal parts gobsmacked and terrified, and a bit impressed

Enock: look Ima Sunshine!!

The Boy: Cool!!

Enock remorphed into his original form

Enock: Really? Everyone says its creepy

The Boy: Its totally awesome man!! What else can you do?

Enock: well... I can do this!!

Enock in Qwerty's voice: My Name is Qwerty and I'm reaaaallly boring and I talk in a boring voice like thiiiissssss

The Boy laughed, And Enock made alot of random cartoon noise in response

The Boy: thats so awesome!!! I bet you can pull a @#$% ton of pranks with that!

Enock: Nah, well, sumtimes, but I usually just make music!

The Boy: You make music too?! What do you sing about?

Enock: usually about things I like, my family, dinosaurs, sometimes death on occasions, food i like, or just random things I like!

The Boy: I always wanted to make music, I can't though, But If I could I would sing about how cool I am! Or maybe about something about dragons

Enock: I love Dragons!! My favorite are the rainbow ones!!

The Boy: I like the Big ones who have GIANT horns and Wings!!!

Enock: Golly! If I had Wings I'd fly just like my dad! And why I could visit Ms. Sun and Moon everyday!!

Enock and The Boy rambled with eachother, topics changing in a second, Enock started flailing his arms and legs and the boy bobbed his head back and forth

Enock: -Ms. Queenie is always in her garden, I like it there! Its really pretty, But she dosent like me in there she says always I step in the flowers, so I have to stare at the flowers from atleast five feet away, Marigolds are my favorite to look at, they're really, really pretty! And its my favorite color!! It also a symbolism of Death! I like death! He sure seems Lika swell guy!! He has a skull for a head lika cally-vara!! I've never had a cally-vara before, My mommy says all that sugar isn't good for me, But I really, really want to! She says I havta eat more veggies, but I don't like veggies at all! There gross, slimy, and green... Oh sorry! I didn't it like that!-

The Boy: No I totally get it! I hate veggies! They're totally gross, And I love gross things! Like, mud and swamps and green moldy cheese and bugs and barf and other stuff! But I don't like Adults, they don't like gross stuff and yell at me when I do things, I hate them!

Enock: I like some adults actually, Like momma and papa and miss sun and moon and miss Ragatha and Miss Gangle and mister miss Zooble and Mister Kinger and Queenie, I don't like Mister Jax though, He's mean to me, each is way I think Patchricia is mean to me, I'm happy my parents are nice, they're the best! My dad is super cool and Can make anything and my mom is super smart! I'm happy I have them And not other Adults, well Ms. Moon and Sun could be my parents, Miss Moon already Likes my mom and Dad and- Hey, Are you Okay?

The Boy was silent, he stopped bobbing his head and had a uncomfortable expression, they just stared at eachother awkwardly for a bit

Enock: Did... Did I ruin it?

The Boy was Still silent and looking at the ground, Enock could sense he was upset, he tired to think of something to cheer him up, and then he got a idea

Enock: Yanna see my house?? Its really cool and fun!!

The Boy: Isn't the Circus You're house?

Enock: No, nota Circus, My dad's manor!

Enock unzips one of his plushies and Grabs a key inside of it, he Goes up to the door opposite from the door they entered and unlocks it

The Boy rolled his eye Enock and the Boy stepped out of His room, Enock took his hand and guided him through the dark halls illuminated by candles sparked with crimson flames

The Boy: Oh Great, I great see your boring bourgeois house

The Boys Jaw drops when he steps out of the halls and sees a long hall draped in vibrant red, long marble pillers accented with gold stretched to ceiling, the ceiling was covered with an artistic mural of the heavens, diamond chandeliers hanged down like willow branches, Sunshine shined through the tallest stained glass windows he had ever seen, a long red velvet carpet spread out before the two childern rolling out farther than the boy could see, it looked like he stepped out of the mortal plane and into some kind of Valhalla

Enock: see? Its pretty isn't it?? This is only wonuva halls though, the actual rooms are much cooler

The Boy was silent, Astonished and completely overwhelmed by the sublime halls of the manor, Enock poked him to get a response

Enock: 大丈夫?

The Boy snapped out of his daze

The Boy: Wah- Huh- Uh.. I mean yeah its cool or whatever I guess...

The Boy tried to keep a cool and uninterested demeanor but Enock could sense he was impressed

Enock: Heyawunna seemy favorite places?

The Boy nodded his head and Enock Eagerly tugged him through the hall, Enock turned left and entered a twisted hall, it looked like it was melted and refrozen again, Enock stopped at a abstract door

Enock stepped aside urging The Boy to Open the door, The boy rolled his eye and pushed the door open, Enock then shoved him into the room

The Boy: Hey!-

Inside of falling on his face like he thought he would, he floated in the air like he was in outer space, floating furniture was scattered across the room, Enock jumped in to join the slimy boy

Enock: Dishestha Gravy Room!!

The Boy: Woah!- uh, Don't you mean Gravity?

The Boy awkwardly turned his body to face him, his jelly body hard to move in zero gravity, Enock Pushed away a full gravy boat the was floating towards him

Enock: Uhh yeah!

Enock: I like this room alot, Its really fun to pretend your flying or in space, I useto bring Qwerty in here, but they don't like it very much, But now you can play with me!! Tag!!

Enock poked his eye and flung himself from a floating table

The Boy: Hey!!

The Boy thrusted himself foward towards Enock, propelling himself like a fish in the water, Enock pushed himself against the wall dodging The Boys attempt to Tag him, they continued to play with eachother, Jumping from Floating furniture and bouncing off walls, after a while, They exited the Gravity room so they could explore more of the manor

Enock: C'mon!! I wanna show you more!!

They sprinted across the mansion, sliding down spiral stair railings and swinging from from antique chandeliers like a Jungle gym, they jumped from room to room, exploring the wacky wonders of the palace, They snacked on the walls and furniture in the candy room, explored in the Giant room, playing with the giant toys, and running from a giant soccer ball rolling towards them, bounced through the bouncey room and walked through an aquarium tunnel that was big enough to fit a blue whale, They Boy was especially estatic at seeing all the Different kinds of sharks

Enock: C'mon Greenie!! I haven't showed you the Safari Room Yet!!

The Boy: Im Coming Man! I'm still getting used to my Body!

The Two boys were running through the halls, Enock zipped past the rooms, The Boy barely being able to keep up with him with his gelatinous form, The Boy reached a fork in the road between two entrances, The right entrance emitted a soft glow, Curiously, he went right

He entered a large foyer, its colors where split down the middle, on the Side The Boy was on was bright warm red and on the opposite side in front of him was a soft blue manor, he slowly squirmed his way to the boy side

Enock: STOP!!! そこへ行かないで!!

Enock grabbed The boy and placed him on the red side of the manor

Enock: where not allowed to go on that side! My Uncle is kinda weird about his part of the house, Its boring there anyway so I don't like going there anyways, Qwertys allowed on my dads side because My dad is alot more fun than my Uncle, and also I think that My dad likes Qwerty more than My Uncle likes me, Momma says I'm being silly and that he loves me but I'm not really sure because he never wants to play with me and looks at me funny when I talk and-

Enock turned to see the boy staring up at the giant family painting placed between the red and blue side, He had a strange strange expression that Enock couldn't really identify

Enock: Hey... you al'ght?

The Boy: Im Fine....

Enock: No you're not, I can tell you're sad-

The Boy: I said Im FINE!!

Enock jumped back at the Boy's yelling, The Boy looked back at the Ground awkwardly, Enock could tell he was upset, he hated when his friends were sad, he had do to something, anything but stay here where he was upset

Enock: You... You Wanna go Play with The other Pals?

The Boy: ......

in the grounds the Pals are hanging out and play with eachother, Patchricia and Niku are playing tic-tac-toe together, Princessa and Princely are identifying bugs with eachother and was quietly Qwerty is reading a book

Patchricia: AH! I win again!

Niku: How do you keep beating me?? Are you playing a trick or something??

Patchricia: Nope, Guess im just naturally skilled!

Enock walked to join them, The boy trailing behind him

Enock: おはようございます、皆さん!!!

All of pals let out a audible groan

Qwerty: Enock, it is 4:05 pm, it is not morning anymore

Enock: I-I knew That!!

Enock twiddled his hands nervously before turning to the boy

Enock: So umm... Whattawanna play?

The Boy: I dunno, I'm done for anything

Enock: OH! OH! Can we play play space cowboys?? I never get to play that game!

The Boy: Uhhh.... Okay, sounds cool

Enock and the Boy were having a pretend standoff, using sticks as Laser pistols

Enock: This Spaceship ain't big enough for the both of us!!

The Boy: oh Yeah?? Well you know is big enough for the spaceship?

Enock: Who??

The Boy: YOUR MOM!!

They Boy let out a war cry and charged towards him, followed by Enock making a High pitched Screech while sprinting towards the boy, The crashed into eachother and thudded on the ground, they got off the ground and chased eachother, giggling while doing so

The Other Pals gave them passing looks, trying to ignore the loud racket the two boys where making

Enock: You're time is up Space Criminal! You can't out run the law!!

The Boy spinned around

The Boy: Well I can Out laser the Law, with this SICK @#$ HELL RAILGUN!

The boy positioned his hands to look like he was holding an invisible gun

Enock: WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! PAUSE, PAUSE! Who know what would be cooler than a pretend railgun??

The Boy cocked his head

Enock: a REAL Railgun! I can manifest it!

The Boy: You can Do that?!

Enock: Yeah!! JusHolon, I neda focus...

Enock took a deep breath and closed his eyes, he held his hands close together leaving a small space between them, The Boy watched as Enock's body strain and jitter

The Boy stared at him confused on what he was doing exactly, His confusion quickly turned to amazement when he saw a low polygon shape glitching into existence forming between his hands

The Boy: Dude!! That is Sick!!

Enock strained his body harder, beads of sweat trickling down his tooth face, he gritted his teeth together forcing all his mind power into his craft, the random pile of polygons glitched and flickered until it took on a rectangular shape, it flashed random colors it and started lighting up like a lantern, Qwerty Looked up from their book

Qwerty: ENOCK!-

In a split, A loud boom erupted throughout the the grounds, The pals were thrown violently, their screams lost amidst the chaos. Debris rained down, scattering in every direction, while dust and smoke stained the air

Slowly, they all got up, racked by the explosion and covered in dirt and smoke

Patchricia: Is everyone okay?..

Niku: ...No...

Enock crawled out of a small crater created by his attempt at creation

Enock: ugh... ....Cheesy rice...

Patchricia: ENOCK!!

Patchricia ran up to Enock, Rage filled her Cotten body

Patchricia: WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT ENOCK?! DO YOU REALISE SOMEONE COULD'VE HURT?? OR KILLED??

Enock Shrinked into himself, stroking the tendrils that dangled from his head to calm himself from the shaking panic that spread through his body

Enock: I... I didn't...

His breath hitched, tears welling up in his eyes, Niku waddled up to the Two, limping due to the pieces they lost

Niku: its not his Fault Patchy, He- He didn't know

Patchricia: I KNOW, he never means to mess things up, but he keeps doing things he KNOWS are Stupid!!

Patchricia: Maybe He should pay more Attention to the Real world instead of playing pretend all day and babbling about Skeletons and zombies like a He's a Stupid Baby!!

Tears streamed down Enock's face his voice hitching between sharp breaths

Enock: ...I'm... I'm notta dumb baby...

The Boy reformed his shape form from his compact shape and stood between Enock and Patchricia

The Boy: HEY! HE'S NOTTA DUMB BABY! HE ONLY WANTED TO HAVE FUN!!

Patchricia: Well That FUN Could've killed us!!

The Boy rolled his eye at what seemed to him as hysterical complaining

The Boy: You're Just Jealous that he's Funner, cooler and Awesomer than a Uptight, Bratty, STUPID B#$%@ LIKE YOU!

All the Pals gasped, mouths agaped, Patchricia stomped her foot on the ground and pinned her crinkly ears back, her teeth gritted and snarled at him, The boy was completely unfazed with the angry bunny and continued to stare her down

Qwerty walks inbetween them

Qwerty: Cease this behavior immediately, both of you are acting in an immature manner, Patchricia, your reaction was inappropriate and resulted in Enock becoming upset, When You are aware of his sensitivity to shouting

Patchricia thumped her foot repeatedly before slowing down

Patchricia: Yeah... I guess you're right... sorry...

Patchricia rubbed her arm awkwardly, And Qwerty turned to Face The Boy

Qwerty: I understand you are new and unfamiliar with our procedures, but your behavior was inappropriate, You should not have enabled Patchricia's unprofessional conduct, Additionally, Enock has made a dangerous mistake that he has repeated multiple times and must face appropriate consequences for his-

The Boy: Im not taking rules from a Guy in a PINK TUTU!

Qwerty: My wardrobe is not my choice, Please return to the subject at-

The Boy: Enock didn't do anything wrong! He just wanted to play!! Somthing YOU are Cleary above!

The Boy shoved Qwerty and they fell to the ground

The Boy: You think You're so smart but they're an Stupid kid like the rest of us!

The Boy: You're just trying to compensate for the fact that Enock is a Gazillion times more personality than you do! I mean just because you're an NPC dosent mean you have to act like One!

The boy grabbed Enocks arm

The Boy: C'mon Ennie, we're to cool for these LOSERS

The Boy Took Enock back Inside the circus, Enock was still teary eyed

Enock: No one... no one ever stood up for me like that... Thank you...

Enock Smiled warmly at the Boy, The Boy looked puzzled at Enock's expression, But slimed regardless

The Boy: Uh.. Um.. Thanks, I guess...

The Boy: Do You... Do ya wanna hang out more?-

A Loud warping rang through the Tent, indicating that the portal reopened

Enock: Mama!!

Enock ran off to the main area of the Circus,

The Boy followed and observed the Pals greeting their parents, Hugging them, telling them about their day, he saw Caine lift Enock off the Ground and spun him around Playfully and hugged him tightly

The Boy felt a Sting run through his body as he watched the Pals with there parents, he was overcome with a feeling of bitter resentment For the other kids, Kids, Like they were even kids, they weren't kids, they weren't even people, they were nothing but machines with preprogrammed responses, they didn't have feelings or thoughts, they were nothing but AIs, and to think he made a real friend...

Enock hugged his mother tightly, savoring each second with her

Enock: Oh! Oh! Mommy! Guess what?!

Pomni: what is it Ennie?

Enock: No, You havta guess!

Pomni: You... um... You taught Bananer a new trick?

Enock: Noooooooooooo

Enock Swayed side to side, his eyes glistening with Happiness, Caine floated down to Enock's height, Hanging upside-down

Caine: Well what is it Son?

Enock: I Made a New friend today!! A real friend!! And I wanna him to you!!

Enock Grabbed his mom's arm and dragged to where The Boy was, But he was gone

Caine: Oh! Is this another one of your invisible friends!

Enock: Huh- Wuh- No, he was right here and... Um... Nevermind momma...

In The manor, Pomni was washing the dishes that was generated every evening, Enock was telling his mom about all things he did with his friend

Enock: -And than we walked through the Fishy tunnel thing, He really liked the Sharks! Especially the Big ones with Sharp teeth!

Pomni: Wow, its sounds like you had a alot fun today!

Enock: Yeah, he also says alot of funny things I don get...

Enock: Hey momma?

Hello! Do you have any fun critters from Ecuador (especially birds, but really any interesting critters)?

Animales de Ecuador:

As you may know, I worked and lived in Ecuador for a year, and it was one of the best times of my life. Here are some animals that I got to know while I was there...

Many-banded Araçari (Pteroglossus pluricinctus), HE SCREMMM!!!, family Ramphastidae, order Piciformes

Horned Screamer (Anhima cornuta), family Anhimidae, order Anseriformes, found in central and northern South America

Mainly herbivorous waterfowl, in the same order as ducks and geese, but in a different family.

Screamers prefer to walk/wade through their habitats, instead of swimming. They can swim, but are not as proficient as ducks and geese.

Hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin) aka “Stink Turkey”, family Opisthocomidae, order Opisthocomiformes

The only living member of the bird order Opisthocomiformes.

This leaf-eating bird uses foregut fermentation, in its enlarged crop, to help break down its food. (The ferementation is where the smell comes from, which gives it the name “Pavo Apestoso”)

They live in vegetation at the edges of lakes, streams, and rivers.

The young have 2 small claws on the fronts of the wingsthat help them climb through vegetation.

Northern Caiman Lizard (Dracaena guianensis), family Teiidae, found across NW and north central South America

Aquatic, feeds on large snails

Amazon Basin Emerald Tree Boa (Corallus batesii), family Boidae

This species was once considered to be a population of the Emerald Tree Boa, Corallus caninus, but was made a distinct species in 2009.
